Hello, this is my first time trying this software and I don’t really understand programming and coding. I followed the tutorials but for some reason the software doesn’t create the lung density histogram.

As label map volume, whether I pick none or partial lung label map, it just creates another partial lung label map and the image viewers show only one slice.  
When I tried interactive lobe segmentation, the same thing happened.  
I appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

Hi,  
You seem to be using an outdated version of Slicer.  
Please install Slicer 5.0.3 stable and use Parenchyma Analysis like this:

[https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/1/4/14fb00f504b709626c2d32db48abc80a7d917d87.mp4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/1/4/14fb00f504b709626c2d32db48abc80a7d917d87.mp4)

Hi all, I am trying to use Parenchyma Analysis (version Slicer 5.0.3) but the software just did not work (only creating label map). I did without segmentation. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

@lassoan could we find a solution for integrating the [SlicerCIP](https://github.com/acil-bwh/SlicerCIP) develop branch into the CIP extension update mechanism?  
My last maintenance work on Parenchyma Analysis was done in this branch.

Slicer Preview Release uses [https://github.com/acil-bwh/SlicerCIP:](https://github.com/acil-bwh/SlicerCIP:)

> <https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex/blob/main/Chest_Imaging_Platform.s4ext>

This causes CIP not being available for Slicer Preview Releases. So, I would not hurry switching to [GitHub - acil-bwh/SlicerCIP: Slicer extension for the Chest Imaging Platform](https://github.com/acil-bwh/SlicerCIP) just yet.

We still don’t have write access to [GitHub - acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform: Chest Imaging Platform (CIP)](https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform) and the [pull request that is required for Slicer to build CIP](https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform/pull/45) is still not integrated, so I’m considering switching back to our fork.
